The scumteam literally relied on Sakura's role to win though, lol. I'm not saying that town could solve the game on mechanics, but they could at least ask some tough questions, most notably why Sakura was never targeted by scum's kill, roleblock, redirect, vanillaize, or strongman.In post 7802, Firebringer wrote:i personally don't think mechanics should be relied on to win games

It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!-

I don't think your fakeclaim is horrible to be honest, just that it would have taken a solid 3-4 hours of backtracking to reverse engineer viable target selections for
Basically I'm telling you not to claim the roleblock because it allows you to use it fully proscum and also to claim something that likely doesn't reach lylo but is also almost never elimed early and to try to bring down Ydrasse
Redirector claims redirect because it's an absurd power role, you get to use the vanillaizer as a purely proscum action, and by outing it and possibly giving Taly his IC status you can keep the role alive to play disruption all game. Queen is actually the 'best' role that scum has given that Sakura's is very feast or famine.2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.-

also random: stop giving townies vigs that work on d1. they dont deserve it.
townies will always use it in the worst way possible and ruin the game for the people who are in the game.
it's just not a good role.
we lost a whole mislim on d1 because of a person who didnt want to be patient with their role. its just obnoxious as hell when it happens and ive never won a game where a townie uses a vig on d1 outside of chat mafia where its an intended setup design thing.retired
